>>>VOTER’S MEETING, SUNDAY, after the 10:30am Service in the sanctuary.

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, and some may not, St. Paul’s has a dedicated team of women who have volunteered to make meals for church families during times of need.   Needs come in a variety of reasons: illness, surgery, loss of a loved one, etc.   All requests for this help should be made to Pastor Mongeau. He may also offer this help as needs arise. He then will notify me of the need and I send an email to our team asking for volunteers. All information is kept as confidential as you want it to be. The volunteer preparing the meal will contact the individual to make arrangements for delivery. Many times, meals are left in the church freezer for members to pick up at their convenience.  I, too, may make contact to find out if there are dietary restrictions that should be followed.  When a request is made, not every team member is expected to help, only if you can.  Our team has lovingly been preparing meals for the past 3+ years. We will always welcome new helpers, so please let me know if you would like to be included on the team. Pastor Kevin and I are always available to answer questions. Thank you,
